Via Abseiling of Montbrun

The parks of Montbrun are located in the Gorges of Tarn at the village of Montbrun. It’s in a small metal frame that we develop all the way to our outdoors. This is the ideal endroit to apply via ferrata and rappel techniques. The view is impossible! The Gorges of the Tarn are a veritable home!⁣The adventure will come to you!⁣

Take with you :

Course and duration of the activity

Firstly, we will leave a car at the bottom of the route and go up the path which takes us to the approach route of the route. This pretty little canyon is an ancient river of the Causse Méjean.

The site is entirely composed of limestone and we will evolve in this universe of stone throughout the descent. Following the pretty approach walk which will allow us to access the Méjean balconies, we will descend a path to access the cave .

We will need to be equipped with helmets, harnesses and descenders to progress in this playground. The passage into the cave is really nice, it allows us to cross a piece of rock via a fossil conduit and come out in the middle of the cliff. From there , we will be ready to launch on the zip line which will take us 20 meters lower. Still in this canyon, we will continue with a 5 meter abseil where we will see how to position our supports. We will also learn how to set up our descender and regulate our descent speed.

The rest is made up of a short walk and a piece of via corda which will take us to the top of the second 15m rappel. What a view of the Montbrun valley!
We continue with another handrail and another 22m spider wire rappel. This is a really nice place, in the middle of a small stone cirque. The rest of the route takes place in the old bed of the river where we can sometimes observe ammonite fossils. We will find the car after 15 minutes of walking and we will exchange our impressions of the exit.

The recommendations:

-Want to make the activity: walk, discover a hidden site in the Tarn gorges, abseil down.
